IDC Books - Technical Training that Works

Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering, also known as Process engineering, focuses on identifying the best system of chemical and physical operations for processing. This includes abiding by the correct operating conditions involved in converting raw materials to be refined into a tradable commodity.

Globally, process industries provide a sought after service to society and the economy. Chemical or Process engineers and technicians are often involved in areas such as gas processing, oil refining, petrochemicals, polymers, minerals processing and metals, agrochemicals, high-performance materials used in the automotive and aerospace industries, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. Industry developments and new trends have also opened up emerging markets like bioengineering and biotechnology industry. IDC Video short courses in chemical engineering provide an array of learning opportunities to up-skill and cross-skill in their chosen field.

This manual will greatly assist you in communicating more effectively with your chemical engineering colleagues. If you are a non-chemical engineer this book will be invaluable in increasing your skills and knowledge in this area.

Many technical professionals today find themselves working with large scale chemical processes even though they don't have formal training in Chemical Engineering. This manual intends to fill this gap and provide you with knowledge of chemical engineering fundamentals along with the ability to apply this knowledge to specify, design, operate, maintain and troubleshoot chemical processes. If you are a non-chemical engineer this manual will enable you to confidently talk to and work effectively with chemical engineers and process equipment.

Dear Colleagues,Surely, the KISS principle is one of the most useful engineering tools we have in our armory (KISS means Keep it Simple Stupid, for those who have forgotten). This should be applied to our writing so that it is simple and easy to understand.But this principle is often forgotten. Perhaps, the overriding consideration we mistakenly have is to impress[…]

Gorataone is a graduate from the Engineering Institute of Technology; he has an Advanced Diploma of Industrial Automation. He is also a married man with three children; we congratulate him for ably juggling full time work, a family and his studies!His career in the engineering world began at the Debswana Diamond mine in Botswana. While at the mine he became[…]

The prototype of the world's longest aircraft is being retired, with new aircraft innovation promised to hit the market soon.The aircraft in question was the Airlander 10: a weirdly shaped plane-airship/blimp that showed what the future of air travel could look like. Needless to say, it does not look like your regular Airbus.It was the product of Hybrid Air Vehicles[…]

India's most famous civil engineer, Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, once said: ‘Work is worship.'Gustave Eiffel, the French civil engineer responsible for the Eiffel Tower, said: “Can one think that because we are engineers, beauty does not preoccupy us or that we do not try to build beautiful, as well as solid and long lasting structures? Aren’t the genuine functions of strength[…]
